The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper If
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofits existence In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chron.
cling of the history of what going on in the
world has ever been its aim. It is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for oh.
tanning news than any paper outside OF the
national capital. Situated MS it is so close
to the great centre Of news, it enjoys daily
tho benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than The morning pa
pers
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE u great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theState, is pub.
lished regularly, and oil events Of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are 10 be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE
The CAVITIES circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas.
ing. That this is sef-evident may be infer.
red from the fact that large country edi.
tlon-nearly as large as the daily--s sent
all over this section OF country three tines
week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.
